I personally think upgrading to MAC OS X would most definitely offer more choices.
I use a combination of Postfix and Qpopper (on FreeBSD) both of which I know will run on MAC OS X. Communicate PRO is supposed to be an EXCELLENT commercial email server with SMTP/POP/IMAP capabilities all built in. I have not used it myself, but it comes highly recommended on my lists. There is an online demo on Stalker's website. http://www.stalker.com/CommuniGatePro/ If you want to go all open source I would use Postfix - as of yet it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Sendmail and Qmail, but it is ROCK SOLID, and has had no significant security problems. Postfix supports virtual domains, virtual users (non system account users) in LDAP and MySQL. It has various built in anti UCE controls as well. It is also consistently shown to be one of the fastest MTA's out there. Here is a good article on MAC OS X and Postfix.. http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/eart.index.html Hope this helps, Stephen Hoover Dallas, Texas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Priscilla Oppenheimer" To: Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 6:52 PM Subject: e-mail server for Mac OS [7:54586] > OK, no laughing or flaming, but I have a customer that is all Mac-based. > They are planning to upgrade their e-mail server.
